Lyrics Wild Beasts

Wild Beasts

Past Perfect

Back then there were no others

All I knew - true beginners

We had a gift - the perfect present

No such a thing

I'm taut

It's tense for me

Can't live within a memory

Proud woman I daren't come passively

Every fella deserves his dignity

Our hurt is older than our hands

It passed from monkey into man

Now tender hands do heal the hurt

Man did fuck up

And then he learnt

It's tense for me

Can't live within a memory

Proud woman I daren't come passively

Every fella deserves his dignity

It's tense for me

Can't keep reliving what is history

Proud woman now don't go soft on me

Where's that famous old dexterity?

It's tense for me
